The disappointment was clear on the beauty's face. Liang Sheng, however, was rather pleased with himself. Trying to play *me* with this act? You'd probably run off the moment I sign, and then who'd keep me entertained this afternoon? A man doesn't release the hawk until he sees the hare; that's just how men are. Besides, if you don't serve me well, even after I've 'eaten the hare,' I'm not necessarily going to sign.
Liang Sheng was no longer an impulsive youth; he wouldn't be easily swayed by a beauty in just a few encounters. Besides, far too many women had thrown themselves at him over the years. It felt like a waste not to indulge in such free offerings. Some he'd taken to bed didn't receive any benefits from him. It all depended on his mood at the time.
